TAMPA | The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting that took place early Sunday morning at Whiskey Park North bar on N. Dale Mabry in Tampa.

Deputies say around 3 a.m. as the bar was closing, a fight broke out in the front parking lot between two groups of men. The fight escalated to gunfire when one man shot at a group of men as they tried to get into a car, according to detectives.

A total of two men were shot in the exchange, a 27-year-old and 31-year old. Both have non-life threatening injuries. One man was shot in the shoulder, the other in the arm and a bullet grazed his head.

About 300 to 400 people were leaving the club at the time of the shooting. Deputies say the scene was chaotic with bullet holes in nearby cars and businesses.

Detectives continue to track down leads as the investigation continues.
